The economic and political situation in the world continues to be unstable and luxury goods, such as high-end watches, continue to be affected by this. But the watch industry is combating the difficult market with concreteness, as seen with almost all of the brands at Baselworld 2015.

Specifically, there’s Patek Philippe and its new Nautilus in solid gold while Rolex has a brand new Yacht Master that maintains the gold case but adds a bracelet made of a new elastomer. The idea is to emphasize the timeless value of precious materialsmalong with technological research, and Bulgari and Zenith have done just that with new watches that feature a classic feel, making them just as timeless.
